I normally publish and update all my models at MakerWorld. They are only here on Printables to keep the accounts consistent.

Please download the newest version here at MakerWorld.

The hour and minute hands are two complex assemblies of straight lines. The lines converge to a point that represents the location of the hand. So it looks like chaos but it isn't. It's quite easy to read.

This model is designed to work with the Bambu Components Kit 011, but also works with other clockworks of 58x58mm. The inner diameter of the hour and minute hands are 5.2mm and 3.3mm.

 

Important (!) tips for printing the hour and minute hands

  • Use 100% infill for the hands
  • Print them very slow. I used 50mm/s, 
  • You need a very good bed adhesion! So use glue or something similar, I used Nano Polymer Adhesive.
  • Let the build plate completely (!) cool down before removing the parts!

The face plate doesn't need any special settings.

I added a .3mf file with my settings.

PLA works fine. No support needed.

 

Tips for Assembly

Press the hour and minute hands in position of 12 o'clock. Take care that both are parallel. Otherwise they will get stuck.

From now on keep the clock always upright. Insert the battery and set the time with the wheel of the clockwork on the back side.
